As artist-researchers, collaborating across the internet and engaging with new types of performance based on themes of commonality across the ’stage’ of social-digital interaction. Our projects focus on the ontology of networked interactions and the subjective identities of overlapping physical and cultural terrain we found that although separated by great distances, patterns of synchronisation in localised everyday activity and behavior often emerge, effecting major personal spaces such as memory and place, thought, location, navigation, travelling, walking and learning. The use of personal multimedia communications technology in our projects is central to our research’s implications, interwoven in the ongoing discourse in which new media artists and researchers become progressively engaged , but still with so much un-noted by social and psychological art & sciences. As such, the light cast by artistic record and documentation of ideas, travel and media clips can now be seen as becoming increasingly important in being able to understand the boundaries which form the boarders to our life as routine. In reflection to this, we explore such psychoborders, set along regions of potential seen through the interaction between user visualization and the architectural and natural dynamics of the new personal environment.
metaMap, as it was represented by cyber curator and artist Carlos Katastrofsky, in the stimulus/responce exhibition (Projektraum Sonnensegel, Vienna, Oct. ’07), challenged modes of temporal and spatial distance through a long-distance collaboration between the partisipating artists. By harmonizing genio/cultural topographies, composed through the action of documenting travel through the space enhabited by each artist. The resultant drew those visited places into a singular fabricated location through which viewers were invited to take a journey into the shared, individual environments of the artists.
